Fender Custom Shop Double P90

It is plain to see that the Double P90 is no ordinary Telecaster. It is so original and beautiful that we had to have it when we saw it in NAMM 2014, and we finally did! For those who already own a Tele and are looking for a different kind of tone, or for those who've always found Teles too thin-sounding and need a thicker sound without losing the twang. In both cases, you won't be disappointed!

Quite like that. Would prefer it with 22 frets.

With 2 obvious changes, I would rock the shit out of that.

Ficksed.

 

[Coralkong]

Sure. Why not?

I know what you're thinking...
























































Floyd Rose and dayglo finish...but what color?

Maple board and tort guard would only be the choices of a lesser man!

 

[dodgechargerfan]

Sure. That looks nice.

If maple and tort make me a lesser man, than I don't want to be more.

 

[LeftyTom]

I'd give it a whirl.

Sexay

 

[Tiltsta]

It is OK. I wish it had a maple fretboard and a normal headstock.

 

[jelloman]

Is it even necessary for me, at this point, to list everything I hate about it?

...didn't think so...

 

[Knox in Box]

Very hot as is, better with maple board and 22nd fret.

Very hot as is, better with maple board and 22nd fret.

Agreed... I prefer a maple board but could deal with the rosewood. I think the pickguard needs to be fixed/replaced. Don't care for the shape of the cutout by the pickup.

I'd probably put a half tele bridge on it too... but I really like the idea.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Drool....would, vigorously.

 

[GilmourD]

Maple board and the cut-off ashtray and I'd sell an organ to get that.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

Not bad. I guess I'd take it for a spin.

 

[Denverdave]

Almost molten hot....almost.

Why? Why is the Gawddamned headstock upside down? It's played out. It's not kischy or cool or even aesthetically flattering. It's just contrarian asshattery. A rebel without a cause, or even a sense of taste or style.

Looks like what you would expect to see the lead guitar player from the rock/country/hip hop band "The Breauregards" playing.

 

[GDSmithTX]

I like it a lot.
